Don’t you just hate it when you get your shoes stained? One of the most common problems we have is having grass stains on our shoes. Removing them can be bit difficult, especially if the stain has stayed on the shoe for quite some time.
But there’s no need to worry, here are some helpful tips on how to remove grass stains from shoes:
1. Remove grass stains using laundry detergent. One of the most popular means of removing grass stains on shoes is using laundry detergent. First, try to get a liquid or powder laundry detergent that contains bleach and enzymes. Put a small amount of detergent on the stain and rub it gently on the shoe. For powder laundry detergent, mix this first with a portion of water before putting in on the stained area. Leave the detergent on to dry for a maximum of 15 minutes. Then rinse this off with clean water. Repeat the process if necessary. Just be sure that you read the instructions first on how to clean your shoe to avoid getting it more damaged.

A fashionista’s worst nemesis is her budget, followed closely by credit card limits.

One of the most inventive solutions I’ve seen thus far is a new trend called “upcycling,” which involves applying your artistic talent to make an old pair of shoes new again.

DIY Metallic Toes
Shoes with metallic toe accents are definitely in this season, but a good pair can often run close to 100 bucks. Why shovel out extra dough for a look you can easily achieve with just an old pair of solid-colored heels, pumps or flats? Blogger extraordinaire, Amanda, recently posted a simple DIY method for turning plain shoes into shiny modern masterpieces with just some gold metallic spray paint, sand paper, masking tape and plastic bags.
To make a pair of these gorgeous DIY shoes, start by covering the entirety of each shoe with a plastic bag and securing them with masking tape at the precise cut-off preferred for the metallic toes. Following this step, use the sandpaper to lightly sand each toe and spray 4-5 coats of metallic paint on the desired area. Wait for the paint to dry, remove the tape and voila– a brand new pair of shoes. Read more…

I love a good red heel. These Liliana Sperry-3 Sandals fit well and do not rub anywhere. The strap around the ankle is just right. It is loose enough to be comfortable, but tight enough to keep the shoe on my foot. The stitching and pattern work is done well. The design will flatter any foot. The heel may be high for some. They are great to walk in.
